  • Patent number: 8172906
    Abstract: An artificial joint fixation mechanism has a base for being attached to an artificial joint, a stem for guiding an artificial joint to engage with a human bone, and a sleeve. The base defines a conic shaft hole therethrough. At least a positioning section and at least a threaded section are extended adjacent an end of the shaft hole. The stem includes an engaging pole at an end thereof for jointing to an artificial joint. The sleeve is threaded for screwing to the threaded section and defines an inner cone hole therethrough. In use, the engaging pole of the stem implants into the shaft hole. The sleeve is screwed to the threaded section, and the inner cone hole reversely pressing against the guiding section. Thus the stem is pressed reliably.

  • Patent number: 7811230
    Abstract: An expansion mechanism for minimally invasive lumbar operation has a support member, a plurality of sliders movably assembled on the support member, at least a couple of outside muscle hook members mounted on adjacent sliders, an inside muscle hook member assembled on the slider, and a nerve hook member assembled on the slider. The expansion mechanism for minimally invasive operation makes small incisions and hurts less tissues. Furthermore, the expansion mechanism protects nerve tissues from repeated stirring. Muscles can be drawn apart without the need of removing ligament, obtaining clear and large operation vision.

  • Patent number: 7753961
    Abstract: A thighbone shaft has a pole and a bolt. The pole defines an inclined threaded hole therein. Tooth portions are respectively formed at opposite sides of the pole. A head is arranged on a front portion of the pole. A sleeve is provided on the head. A threaded portion is formed on the bolt and is retained in the inclined threaded hole for engaging the bolt and the pole. The thighbone shaft is assembled easily, reduces planting area and replacement cost, decreases stress force, and promotes planting fixedness.

  • Publication number: 20070288020
    Abstract: A soft tissue fixation device for organs proximate shankbone includes a fixing body, a fixing plate, and a plurality of fixing components for attaching the fixing plate to the fixing body. The fixing body forms an arcuate bound portion on a side thereof. A plurality of engaging holes is defined in a surface of the bound portion. The fixing plate is arcuate and defines at least a positioning hole substantially in a center thereof for passing a suture through, and fixing holes respectively adjacent both sides thereof for corresponding to the engaging holes. The suture and ligament are positioned reliably with respect to the fixing body. The fixing plate is adjustable in height and orientation.
